   I use a CLI app that is used like this: `command get/set [long directory]` Because of that long directory part, I use the command history instead of retyping the whole thing. I probably already lost a cumulative total of hours executin

   I panicked a bit there... I thought Carol Kaye just died, hence this post in HN. whew For those who don't know, Carol is a legendary session bassist and played on an estimated 10,000 records mostly from the 1960s and 1970s. I persona

   I would agree that "Calc" has worse usability if you're talking about OpenOffice. I find LibreOffice's Calc to be as usable as Excel because it reminds me of Excel 2003 (and older). Additional anecdata: I asked my wife w

    I would give my 25 year old self the following advice: In general: Try everything you want to try, keep moving and exploring, and do not be complacent and/or stagnant. Your 20s is meant for exploration while your 30s are meant for stab

    This is just a PSA for those comparing financial (in)equality between Europe and the USA: income inequality is different from wealth equality. Income inequality might be lower in Europe but apparently wealth inequality is relatively hig
